About Us

Volunteer Teachers and Volunteer Staff
Rev. Hayward, B.A. from U.C. at Berkeley, heads the Yoga Oasis yoga program, has been a yogi since 1972. Hayward's American Indian mother started him on a metaphysical path at an early age. In 1973, he was initiated into Tibetan Buddhism by Karmapa Rimpoche. Hayward is a spiritual counselor, teacher and certified in Thai Massage.
His spiritual life has inspired his performances with artists such as: Diana Ross and Whoopi Goldberg. As a mime, he studied under Marcel Marceau and Marceau's teacher, Etienne Decroux. Performing as a highly trained acrobat and Miami Vice stuntman, Hayward suffered numerous spinal and joint injuries. However, he has been able to rejuvenate his body through the yogic techniques which he teaches. He traveled to France and India where he spent many years studying yoga with several Indian masters in Mysore, India. He was given great reviews in the Yoga Journal (1986) for his inspiring performance art called "Mime-Yoga". Swami Vishnu Devenanda, founder of the Sivananda Yoga Ashrams, named him, "The World's Greatest Mime-Yogi". Hayward has toured, lectured and performed all over the world.
